TALLAHASSEE, FLA, April 2t.-Sena-

day to rest from the struggle. Mr.. Pasco's
friends say he entered the race to break the
deadlock and to win, and so has no thought
of retiring, since he has assurances that
others will join his supporters when all
hope for their choice has disappeared The
Bloxham and Perry factions are determined
to stand firm, so there is now no prospect of
a nomination for perhaps weeks. Senator
Mallory, of Pensacola has friends who
want him chosen, but the Perry and Blox-
ham forces are too well organized to bs
broken by anyone just yet. The fight will
be renewed Monday night and protracted
perhaps indefinitely.

The Story Alleged to Have Been Told
by Editor Dorsheimer.
ST LOUIS, April 24-The Republicans
Washington correspondent, again referring
to the Presidential denomination matter,
gives the following: GA story has come to
the correspondent Of the Republican to-
night significantly confirmatory of the con-
versaton between President Cleveland
and his Senatorial visitor. This
story is to the effect that
the President had quite recently pre-
pared formal letter to be1nade public, set
ting forth his views in regard to Il second
term in plain, distinct words, and unquali-
fedly declaring that he would not be a can
didate for reelection. Yielding to the earn
est persuasiOns of his friends he consented,
however, to withhold the letter for the pres
ent at least, if not to wholly abandon his in
tention of giving it to the public.
DoRsHEIMER THE AUTHORITY.
''This story is told on authority of Col.
QOrsheimer, of New York, who was in
Washington few days ago. He told sew
4 eral OF his friends while here, Immediately
after coming from the White House, that
he had been shown draft of a letter such
as has been already characterized, and
his advice was asked regarding the policy
VI SuSu Il puDHCaClOu. lie S31U the 1eUu6f
referred also at length to the opposition of
a certain element Of the Democratic party
to the reelection of Mr.. Cleveland and the
chance that this might defeat the ticket.
After referring to this well-known factor in
the existing political situation Col Dor
Shelmer says the President went on in his
IeCter TO say that he deemed it wise in view
OF these circumstances to withdraw his
name from all consideration in connection
Il With the nomination.
THE NAN TO LEAD.
"He announced in unequivocal terms that
ne was not candidate, and suggested that
some other leader who could command the
united support of the whole party be Sc
Il iected as the standard-bearer in 1883. Col
Doisheimer stated that he at once protested
{ against any public use of such letter as
proposed. He told the President that there
wa was no need for him to adopt this step now,
whatever might prove to be wise hereafter.
tle urged the President TO abandon the idea
h l,l '1e present at any rate, and finally in
i uuced hlm to yield to his persuasions.
